TONNES TIMES

An unexpected face is appearing on the August cover of Layfet's most popular fashion magazine and it is non other than Executive Minister of Layfet - Spencer Hastings. The magazine reports that it will have an exclusive interview with the nation's leader that includes details on her journey upward the political latter as well as insights into her personal life. It will also contain the first ever photo-shoot of a sitting Executive Minister, with rumors that some of the photos will be "less than casual". This, combined with the fact that she is even appearing in the magazine has caused quite the controversy among many prominent politicians and in the public sphere.

Both of the other major party leaders - John Hildman and Anthony Benson has called her appearance a "political stunt" with Hildman further commenting that Hastings is "using herself as a sex icon as a means sell her politics and sway voters." He later posed the question that if she is willing to this, "what other tactics will she stoop down to using?" Other politicians including Brettsville City mayor Alan Peters said "This is what happens when we let traditional values leave our homes, and now she is running for office? What will our children think?"

Other politicians have come to Hastings' defense including Epinay City Mayor Sarah Hutch "We should allow anyone to express themselves freely without being hampered down by rape culture. Educate boys not to prey on women and let women be who they want to be." Hastings herself commented on the recent attacks: "We are allowed to use the media in a fair way to give exposure to their campaigns, if Hildman or Benson wanted to appear on the cover of a fashion magazine, more power to them. As for this 'sex icon' comment floating around, we all need to learn to be a little more sex positive and not be all hush-hush about it. Plus I should be able to express myself how I want to without any threat or degrading comments from anyone, male or female. This country may be progressive, but their is still of lot of patriarchy going around and that's not okay."

A Nordipolica Post Survey found that the public sides with Hastings' choice with 74 percent of respondents agreeing with Hastings with 20 percent of respondents disagreeing with her, and six percent saying it isn't important.

Junterland News

Hello, I'm Hans, and this is Junterland News! Today the Vote to Reaffirm Support for the Ereskan Peacekeeping Act was unanimously defeated. This means the 3rd Panzergrenadier Division and the 7th Fighter Wing will not be sent to Ereska. However, a new piece of legislation in Congress has over plans for the would-be peacekeepers. Called the Recognition of the Azurite Liberation Army Act, it would, if passed, recognize the Azurite Liberation Army, also known as the ALA and the Azurites, as the legitimate government of Azureden, provide aid to the ALA to help rebuild the country, and authorize the President to send ten Regiments and one Air Wing to Azureden to help support the ALA. The act will be voted on tomorrow, September 7th. In other news, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has lifted the travel ban on Flatstone, citing the fact that their civil war is over.

That's all for now, thanks for tuning into Junterland News!

TONNES TIMES - RIOTS AFTER A LOCAL FOOTBALL MATCH

24 year old Anatoly Sokolov was just a normal fan of his nation's football team, but once Layfet City United had a lead of 4 -1, he had enough and started to bash several Real Tonnes fans sitting next to him. While Police were successful to break a scuffle earlier in the match, Sokolov incited a much more violent reaction causing at least one entire section of the stands to break out into a full blown riot. Police quickly got to the scene but had trouble stopping to violence, to which they had two entire sections evacuate.

Police were finally able to quell the riots and arrested 314 people, most of whom were released and barred from ever returning to Layfet. The International Anterian Football Association (IAFA) also barred them from ever attending an offical match ever again. 12 of those detained are awaiting charges, with Sokolov being charged immediately and detained until his court date on September 10th.
If found guilty, Sokolov could face up to 10 years in prison.

Religion Returns to Flatstone
After the politician turned military leader Erik Slaten had suggested the second religionization of Flatstone to the General of the Resistance, Dag Von Stone, Dag knew exactly how to turn the country into the nationalistic haven he had envisioned it to be. The religion of Veien ( "The Way") had been adopted in 1820 after the ruling monarchy had forced religion across the country in 1813 in an attempt to unify the unstable country that had been shaken by a fourteen-year long unification war.

The religion turned out to be a huge success, despite it being forcefully integrated into schools. The religion had given the people something to look forward to in a period of harsh industrialization and authoritarian rule over the country. The religion had allowed people to feel independent of themselves and gave them a reason to achieve success.

The religion would go on to dominate the country until the 1950's when the ruling democratic party deemed it ineffective and it was removed from the majority of schools. However, the religion would still hold a large place in the heart of the country even after the rise of democracy in Flatstone. When the Second Nationalist Rebellion began to reach an end, former general Dag Von Stone was elected to be Chancellor of the newly established dictatorship. He was quick to reinstitute the religion that had been neglected for the past 70 years by an unworthy democratic government.

The religion was announced as the official religion of Flatstone today, on September 6th. The religion is now being reinstituted into schools across the country.

Landsmoot overturned! Shock debate in the Kingsmoot!

King Alberd Miadhair, in a shocking but not entirely unsurprising mood for the unapologetic jingoist, has used his right as the King of the Miadhair Clan to call a Kingsmoot vote for a Declaration of War against the Ereskan goverment, stating their crimes against the people of Düffelburg, a city destroyed by the actions of the Ereskan goverment. Citing war crimes against their own people, aggressive use of napalm and other such weapons of fire, and the unapologetic nature of the Ereskan government, Alberd has bypassed the Landsmeet and brought the debate directly to the Kingsmoot. Even more surprisingly, High King Albricht has refused to veto the vote, citing that the situation in Ereska is 'volatile and dangerous' and that Lethia 'may need to be capable of immediate action'.

Pacifists, socialists and nationalists within the Landsmeet have formed into a voting bloc to attempt to oppose the declaration, with the other voting alliances fracturing and uncertain on where individual members of the Landsmeet's loyalties lie. The pacifist movement and Republican movement both have come out in force with mass protests, and Clan Druiga have strongly denounced the action, leading Clan Doemha to support Clan Miadhair. Many Lethians are splitting down clan and familial lines, and many others, most notably the Clanless movement, look towards Princess Ainnebelle, who has strongly denounced the move.

Another Napalm bombing raid, this time the capital of Lörren.
Another Napalm raid by the Ereskan government has been pulled off. This time, the city of Wolfbrunn, capital and largest city of Lörren.
The attack was long, effective and deadly. 21 aircraft of the ENA, 15 of them loaded out with napalm bombs, the other 6 with heavy yield bombs started bombarding the city, this time trying to get as many casualties as possible. The entire urban district has been completely bombarded into the ground, while the industrial sector still has fires raging in it's boundaries, hours later.
According to Mikhail Duvarensko, the Ereskan President this bombardment wasn't supposed to be of this magnitude, but the Lörrish Chancellor said that it was actually supposed to be bigger...

Estimated casualties: 100,000.

First Election

The Democratic States of Nownadia is holding the first election after the nation was established, and the two people chosen are Paloda Desa vs. Kala Fakado. Desa is running for the Conservative party while Fakado is running for the Liberal party, and since leftism is more popular in the nation, it is expected that Fakado will win. But it seems it will be a close race, with current poll numbers being 56% for Fakado while there is 44% for Desa. Fakado promises new laws protecting rights for people, while Desa promises new laws to protect small businesses and farms.

Protests are being held against Fakado due to his support of socialism, and with Nownadia being built off of capitalism, he definitely isn't popular with elders and people on the right. Though he is mostly getting votes off of younger voters and the 3rd class.

Neferheim

Neferheimer natural gas exploration plans:-

A group of 60 ships with exploration equipment are planned to be sent by both the Republic of Medovia and the Democratic Republic of Neferheim to search the estimated reserves of underwater natural gas that are thought to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars near the territorial waters of Ausvalia-Neferheim and the Federation of The 14 Stars have also shown their wish to support in this project, which the neferheimer government appreciates.

The discovery of natural gas can have very prosporus results for Neferheim and the rest of the world as the government can finally reduce pollution and increase its energy output using mostly natural gas powerplants and can sell this resource as a new industrial material.

Junterland News

Hello, I'm Hans, and this is Junterland News! Today Congress has voted on the Recognition of the Azurite Liberation Army Act, with it passing with an unanimous vote. As such, the Democratic Republic of Junterland recognizes the ALA as the official government of Azureden. Also, the Government will provide economic aid to help the ALA rebuild and the 3rd Panzergrenadier Division and 7th Fighter Wing as volunteer forces, provided the ALA wants the help.

In other news, the Government has also condemned the "official" government of Ereska for their use of Napalm, citing it as a war crime. Along with this, a new bill has entered Congress, called the Ereskan Intervention Act. It would, if passed derecognize the Ereskan faction as the official government of Ereska, and authorize the Luftwaffe to intercept Ereskan bombers suspected of carrying Napalm or any other chemical, biological, or nuclear weapon. A government spokesperson has announced the vote will happen tomorrow, September 8th.

And now, we'll be right back after this commercial break . . .

BATTLE OF MORGES ENDS IN COALITION VICTORY!
After weeks of fighting, the Batlle of Morges comes to an end with the Lörrish-Viloskian coalition winning this battle. Morges is maybe the most important city in the western part of the country because it is the only city where a (Still functioning) Bridge crosses the Mores river. Since the start of the civil war, a battle has been raging here, just because of the bridge.
General Günter Gavinski has congratulated the soldiers who've won this battle and hopes that this will cause greater collaboration between Lörren and Vilosk against Ereska.

Estimated casualties: 40,000.

TONNES TIMES - New Preservations on the Horizons

While giving a talk on the impact of climate change and environmentalism at Ewan Hall at Twin Cities University, Director of Layfet State Affairs, Fraiser Crane announced that plans were in the works to create two new national preserves. National Preserves are protected areas that the government sets asides that no one is allowed to enter except by the National Conservation Agency. "We have a few ideas in mind" Director Crane said "We have a shortlist of several places we want to protect and save from future climate disasters and human development"

When asked about the places on the shortlist, Crane responded that several hundred miles near the Albin River and the Nordic Mountains are the most likely contenders to get National Preserve status. Adding these two would make the total number of National Preserves go up to six that includes includes Lake Nicone National Preserve, Wimmer Plateau National Preserve, Lawrence Forest National Preserve and Skyward National Preserve. Executive Minister Spencer Hastings has yet to release a statement as to Crane's announcement.

The debate over creating new national preserves is contentious as Layfet's growing population may spell trouble for developers and the need for expansion. The Nordic Mountains which sit in the middle of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area is a prime example of the issue facing Layfet, with many cities including Nordipolica, River Forks, Ridgelind and Emery Heights looking towards the area to for development. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Regional Planner Jason McMillian and Emery Heights Mayor Lisa O'Hare have been vocal about their opinions regarding national preserves.

"We don't need more preserves" O'Hare stated in a brief statement after Crane's talk. "Environmental protection is a priority, but we have other ways at looking at the issue, such as in new technology". Mayor of Hansor, Arthur P. Morris, who ran for Executive Minister in 2020 stated that if he won, he would have ended the national preserve program.
